A Cascaded Hough Transform as an Aid in Aerial Image Interpretation

Abstract

Cartography and other applications of remote sensing have led to an increased interest in the (semi-)automatic interpretation of structures in aerial images of urban and suburban areas. Although these areas are particularly challenging because of their complexity, the degree of regularity in such man-made structures also helps to tackle the problems. The paper presents the iterated application of the Hough transform as a means to exploit such regularities. It shows how such `Cascaded Hough Transform' (or CHT for short) yields straight lines, vanishing points, and vanishing lines. It also illustrates how the latter assist in improving the precision of the former. The examples are based on real aerial photographs.
